Take temperature
Press the temperature button (you can press and hold
the button or press and release it). When the device is
placed correctly, the screen displays a dashed line
animation while it takes a reading. After the animation
sequence (under 2 seconds), the display shows the
temperature. The appropriate fever light color is
displayed on the screen and the confirmation beep is heard.
If the device is positioned too far away from the
forehead, it will prompt you to move closer by
displaying a diagram and the letters “0-5 cm”. Slowly
move the device toward the forehead until the dashed
line animation starts and a reading is displayed.

and high fever (red backlight) temperature range, you will hear 10 short
beeps.

Temperature taking hints
It is important to know each individual’s normal temperature when they
are well. This is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever. To determine
normal temperature, take multiple readings when healthy.
A child’s normal temperature can be as high as 37.7°C (99.9°F) or as low
as 36.1°C (97.0°F). Re-measure with a standard digital thermometer for
confirmation. This unit reads approximately 0.5°C (0.9°F) lower than a
rectal digital measurement.
Patient must be inside for 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
Note: Patient and the thermometer should be in the same ambient
temperature for at least 10 minutes.
Always hold the thermometer and the forehead steady when taking a
reading. Do not move the thermometer until you hear the confirmation
beep.
Don’t take a measurement while or immediately after nursing a baby.
Patients should not drink, eat, or be physically active before/while taking
the measurement. Remove hats and wait 10 minutes before taking
a measurement.
Remove dirt or hair from the forehead before taking a measurement.
The presence of fringes may cause higher readings. We recommend
waiting at least 10 minutes after washing the forehead area before taking
a reading.
Always take the temperature exactly as directed. Temperature results
may vary if positioned in the wrong location.
In the following situations it is recommended that three temperatures in
the same location be taken and the highest one taken as the reading:
